Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus launched with Android 5.1.1 out of the box, so any previous rooting methods that worked for S6 edge like PingPong Root and CF-Auto-Root doesn’t work for the S6 Edge Plus.
The only way to get root on Samsung’s Android 5.1.1 based firmware is to install a custom kernel with auto-root. Thanks to Odin, installing custom kernels has never been a trouble, even the noob users. However, flashing a custom kernel on your Galaxy S6 Edge Plus means tripping its KNOX counter, which you should be really worried about.
Tripping the KNOX on a Samsung device voids warranty of the device, but for the S6 Edge Plus there’s another big concern linked with KNOX — Samsung Pay. If your device’ KNOX counter is tripped then Samsung Pay will not work on your device. Period. And there’s no way you can revert the KNOX status.
So before you go ahead and install a custom kernel on your S6 Edge Plus, make sure you losing warranty and Samsung Pay feature isn’t a concern for you. Because is no going back once you’ve tripped the KNOX counter.
That said, rooting has its own benefits and we wouldn’t be surprised to see many folks not giving a damn to Samsung Pay when it’s the question is about getting root or not.
The custom kernel with auto-root for S6 Edge Plus comes from g.lawarne, the same person who first rooted the 5.1.1 OTA update for S6 and S6 edge when it arrived.
Grab the auto-root kernel from the download link below, be sure to download the one that matches your S6 Edge Plus model number only.

I rooted my t-mobile s6 edge plus out of the box with all methods available and yes they all worked for the most part but I keep encounter a problem with all root kernels which is after being root all my calls incoming and outgoing get muted without the actual button being pressed and there’s no way to fix this issue without unrooting my phone.
